THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1974

totalling $561,483 have been
mailed to 27 public hospitals
and 16 state institutions in the
first distribution of settle-

Slate Final
Study on Bill
OLYMPIA - Bills for pos-
sible consideration by the
44th Legislature are expected
to be passed from sol,e of the
House committees when they
convene in Olympia on Dec.
5,6 and 7. These meetings will
be the last major events of the
43rd Legislature and cul-
minate over 150 committee
studies conducted since April
of this year.
The 44th Legislature will be
sworn in on January 13, 1975,
at the beginning of the
regular session for the 1975-77
biennium.
The recommendations
made by the various Huse
standing committees will be
passed on to the next
Legislature, according to Re-
presentative E.G. "pat" Pat-
terson, R-9th District; how-
ever, the 1975-77 Legislature
is not legelly required to act
upon the recommendations. In
addition to receiving these
suggestions, the next Legis-
lature probably will generate
from two to three thousand
bills of its own if past
experience proves reliable,
Repesentative Patterson said.
Committee meetings, hear-
ings and work sessions on
Representative Patterson's
a~enda for December include:
Higher Education Commit-
tee: The committee Will meet
Saturday, at 9 a.m., in Room
431 of the House Office
Building, to hold hearings and
work sessions on campus child
care and senior citizens'
education legislation. Com-
mittee members will receive
an updated report on Seattle
Community College's nursing
program.
Local Government Cora-
l mittee: Land use planning and
county-city jail standards will
be the subjects of a hearing
conducted by this committee
on Friday, at 2 p.m., in Room
431 of the House Office
Bfiilding.
Transportation and Utili-
ties Committee: On Friday, at
9:30 a.m., and Saturday, at 5
p.m. members of the commit-
tee will beet at the Sea-Tac
Hilton Inn, Seattle, to partici-
pate in a "Transportation
Colloquiam" conducted by the
Brookings Institute of Wash-
ington, D.C.
The meetings are open to
the public.
Christmas Trees
On Sale This Week
Christmas trees are sche-
duled to go on sale here this
week, officials of Boy Scout
Troop 801 announced today.
The Scout lot, which is
rotated annually among local
troops, will be located again
between Community Savings
and Loan and Kentucky Fried
Chicken.
Troop officials said the
trees have arrived and will go
on sale either today or Friday.
ney General Slade Gorton
announced today.
The largest check, for
$136,342, went to the Harbor-
view Medical Center.
Locally the Othello Com-
munity Hospital is scheduled
to receive $6,833.25. That
figure is based on 1.217 per
cent for a gross recovery of
$8,397.30. Costs of $213.02
and attorney fees reduced
that figure to a net recovery
of $6,504.82, with interest of
$328.43 bringing it back to the
$6,833.25 total.
The amount received by the
Ritzville Memorial Hospital
will come to $14,542.43, since
that facility was scheduled to
receive 2.59 per cent. For that
hospital the gross recovery
was $17,871, with costs of
$453.34 and attorney fees of
$3574.20 subtracted from that
amount and interest of
$698.97 added back.
The distribution is part of
the $4,235,000 settlement of
an antitrust suit against the
five makers of certain broad-
spectrum antibiotic drugs,
particularly tetracycline and
its derivatives.
A total of $690,000 was
allocated for the public in-
stitutional class. Refunds, as
well as costs and attorneys
fees, were pro-rated among
the organizations based on
their estimated purchases.
The refunds, which include
interest earned since July 17,
amount to 114 per cent of the
estimated purchases. This
high percentage of recovery
reflects in part inflation in the
period of up to 20 years since
the purchases were made.
Judge Miles W. Lord of the
U.S. District Court approved
the distribution plan prepared
by Special Assistant Attorney
General Thomas J. Greenan of
the Seattle law firm, Fergu-
son & Burdell.
Gorton said a separate
program of partial cash
rebates for members of the
consumer class "is in full
progress." The U.S. District
Court will mail supplemental
information forms early next
month to citizens who pre-
viously reported purchasing
more than $150 worth of
drugs in the period of 1954 -
1966.
